SOPHIA POV.After their night and when Roman was fast asleep, Xylah had me returned to my cell. She made them lock us inside while she showed me the hickey he left on her and a lot more.She mocks the more when she sees I didn't say anything before leaving. She returned the next morning and I was dragged to a torture room.As I was chained, she went around, picking the weapon she would choose. "Strip her," she instructed as my clothes were torn. She went ahead to bring a whip with a spike. "You know, my father just want me to kill you, but I thought, why don't I torture you," she muttered, turning with a cane having spike.She whipped me several times with it and only dropped it when I didn't scream or show any sign of pain.From then on, she went on testing other items on me, smiling when I screamed and frowning when I didn't. Half of the tools were now covered in my blood and I wasn't even healing, I couldn't even channel my wolf to aid me, I was slowly drifting in and out of co

SOPHIA POV."Roman, it's you," I mumbled, seeing him standing by my side. "It is me," Roman replied."But how, why did you," I wanted to ask but was immediately stabbed by him, there I heard it, Xylah laughter that took me to a different room.When I opened the door, I found my parents being butchered by the rogue wolves, their nasty laugh got to me and I began to shiver in fear."Do you really think I will forgive you?" I heard Roman ask, although I couldn't see them."I'm with Xylah now and I love her, she will always be my love," he said and the image of both of them having sex occurred in my head.I was trapped in a loop of seeing Xylah,Roman, the rogue wolves and my late parents.I woke up, in a different room, it was dark and there was a small window. It had a gate which was locked.I didn't tell if it was Roman games or torment but this seems different, there was a note, telling me to please eat and when I raise the covers, I doubt Roman will give me a feast like this.But an

ROMAN POV.Looking at everyone in the palace, it was hard to know who I could trust, the only person I could trust, I ruined and now she is dead.I know I aim to avenge her but the thought of her passing was something I didn't want to fully accept.Someone inside me hoped that she was alive and even though she hated me, I didn't mind, as long as she was alive, that's all I cared about.I am currently in my office, working to get the painful thought. I couldn't even plan properly because I have been surrounded by either one of them.Xylah would come and drop food, flirting with me and Bryce would spend half of his time with me.So I was barely alone, Bryce was in the office with me but he was going through files. I heard a constant knock on my desk, only to realize that Bryce had been calling me."Son, where is your mind?" He asked. I looked at him, trying to hide my disgust when he called me son.The son he betrayed, the one he made to lose his mate. "I'm sorry uncle," I apologized b

SOPHIA POV."I am Jared mate," she introduced, coming closer, confirming my suspicion. "It's nice, finally able to meet you," she says. "I should be the one telling you that," I tell her. "No, serious, Jared told me all about you," she says."What did he tell you?" I questioned. "Just a lot," she replied. "You seem relieved to see me, were you expecting something else?" I asked."Well, I am barely home and when I am, I don't see women's clothes or things in that area. I decided to surprise him, so I thought," She tried explaining but most times her words break."Jared won't have an affair, he talks about you too much, you know, when you asked for who I was, I was already suspecting it would be you," I said as she sighs in relief and shockingly she came to hug me.She was already crying and I helped hrt, consoling her. Once she gained herself, I locked the door, using the key and dropping it where Jared had asked."So your majesty," she called, her voice was already much better and h

SOPHIA POV. We arrived there and so far things were going just as planned. I was able to kill five out of the ten guards before the rest could come and before they were alerted. Taking my assistant with me I entered the palace to find the alpha. With his help, I was able to locate him and I made him stand outside and watch guard, to prevent people from disturbing me. "Who is there?" He asked, slowly turning to his wolf form. I step into the light, letting him see me. "Remember me," I asked, swinging my swords at him. He dodge it but found himself on the floor. "You, how is it that you are alive? Xylah promised to make you die, I assume when the video stopped coming, you were dead," he muttered. "Video," I repeated. "Since we couldn't watch your torture firsthand, she sent us a video, we watched you get stripped naked," "We watched you scream and when you couldn't, we watched your weak body fall to the ground," he mocked. "You were so weak, we made a bet of how long you can last,
